Some arsehole has cloned my plates

Postby stevo » Fri Nov 10, 2017 4:29 pm

So a few weeks back I’ve had a fly tipping notice from Luton council (never been to Luton) stating I’ve been seen fly tipping, luckily the chap I spoke to on the phone has cancelled it.
Today I’ve had a parking ticket in Chorley, again I’ve never been there. Some b*stards about, gotta now inform the police and dvla

Might be an idea to obscure the plate on your avatar :idea:
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)

I am fighting Coventry city council for the same thing......I live in west of scotland.
Parking charge notice for a transit with my plates parked on double red lines...I wasnt even in the UK at the time of offence....
Asked them to send me a pic of the offence and they did, blue transit exactly same as mine, minus alloy wheels, sport kit and signwriting.....but with my Number plate
I have luckily a facebook work page with a pic of my van dated before the incident so they can clearly see its not my van in their pic......
Oh and i went to my local cop shop.......they were not interested, said the plates had prob been taken off it by now and i should contact coventry police....useless b@st@rds.... :evil:
Still awaiting the outcome!!

Quite far apart the offensive offences
Fly tipping and no respect for chorley brough council parking regulations

Could it be a Pie key ?

Removed it all together. Had nothing but hassle with my van the last month or so.
First some daft split arse left her handbrake off and her car rolled into it, luckily not much damage. The same day I had a parking ticket because the machine on the car park I park on every day wasn’t working, left a note on the dash but still got one. Then I’ve had issues with my insurance company because even though I cancelled the claim I made against the woman who’s car rolled into my van they still want to increase my insurance by a tenner a month, that took 3 hours on the phone to sort that out. Now I’ve had this sh*t come through today, starting to test my patience.

So if someone is driving around with your plates does that mean the fake of your van has no tax, mot or insurance? N

Probably but a PNC check will show it up as all good if the original van is all legal as all they go off is the plate.

Exactly. The dvla were good on the phone, they said if I sent my log book off I could change my registration for another of the same year.

Would you get to choose the letters as long as it 03? You could kinda get a bit of a personal plate :D so once your van is reregistered it wont be long till scrote bot gets pulled on the Gestapo ANPR, serve the f*** right. N

Got letter from coventry city council today confirming that it is obviously not my van in their pics........Penalty charge cancelled...
Still rather annoying tho but glad i made my van look a bit different from a bog standard one or it might've been more difficult to prove........

I wrote to the company in charge of the car park in Chorley, they very kindly sent me a copy of the original ticket, a***holes.
I’ve wrote to the dvla as they instructed but had no reply yet and I’ve informed the police so hopefully the b*stard will get caught.
